Championship defending at its finest, bloody Toon

Best defence in the championship last season, which is why they aren't doing a West Brom yet

 

[Vladamir]

Taking nothing away from the goal, was a good move, but fck me just hoof the bastard instead of playing it out

 

[cHodAX]

Fletcher and O'shea not really at the races so far. Too many stray balls and slightly out of position when we lose it.

 

[cHodAX]

lol that'll learn me.

 

[Vladamir]

Coloccini should be defending instead of trying to impersonate Robert Plant

You don't have a whole lotta love for him do you?

 

[Vladamir]

Well you could say there was a Communication Breakdown, the levee broke and left him Dazed and Confused, with Fletcher offering No Quarter In the Evening.

 

[Aph3x]

Nice to see Coloccini has improved his defending in the last year.

Some guys have all the luck!

Oh wait, that is Robert Palmer. Close enough!

 

[Ch3tan]

It's scary to think that even a summer without the defensive guidance of Maradona has done nothing for Colocinni.

Scholes doing his Gerrard impression as soon as he gets inside the box!

Twating a D.J. and shagging his missus 15 year old sister?

Dirty ginger bastard!

OK show me where I said that? I was just trying to point out that while your fans want the manager sacked if you don't win something every year the amount of Arsenal fans wanting Wenger out is a minimal. IE different fans expect different things.



And as i have said plenty of times that is valid this year but has not been each of the last 5.

i wanted him sacked cos he was just riding a champ league fluke forever and the club was going nowhere, atleast arsenal have an amazing youth policy, liverpools youth are fairly woefull


the day after we played a 7 2 1 formation i lost all faith

i mean seriously he palyed johnsen agger skrtle and insua in defence then degen carragher lucas and dossena in midfield with kuyt and ngog or some shit


was rediculas

 

[Vladamir]

Sexy finish that

 

[Ch3tan]

Amazing pass, amazing finish. Seems no one at Newcastle watched the charity shield, they are giving Scholes the freedom of the pitch.

i can't belive scholes and giggs are 36..... doesn't seem they'll ever retire

 

[megadave]

after the first goal you'd think United would stop losing possession in and around their box so readily

 

[cHodAX]

i can't belive scholes and giggs are 36..... doesn't seem they'll ever retire

Giggs is 37 shortly as well, speaks volumes of how well Fergie runs that side that 20 years on he is still fit enough to be a first team regular.

 

[Aoami]

21 years in a row now that Giggs has scored in the prem lol

 

[cHodAX]

Someone on the radio said if he wins another major medal he will be the most decorated player of all time to play at the highest level.

 

[megadave]

someone said that before the charity shield i think, or maybe he's now equal?

you can have the carling cup

If we are 12 points clear in February you might change your mind!

I think Scholes will stop before Giggs, I think this may well be his last season. A lot depends on whether we have decent replacements for them, they both seem to keep going because they know that there is still no one at the club that can do what they do. Be a very very sad day when they stop.

 

[Raven]

They also take it very seriously, you don't see them falling out of some shitty nightclub at 5am. I think there loss will have a far bigger effect on the team than Ronaldo leaving.

BBC Sport - Football - Craig Bellamy moves to Cardiff City on loan

Fucking what..?

 

[Everz]

BBC Sport - Football - Wolverhampton Wanderers sign young forward Jake Cassidy

Also, glad we got this lad, showed bags of potential in his matches for us.

 

[Ch3tan]

BBC Sport - Football - Craig Bellamy moves to Cardiff City on loan

Fucking what..?

There is a big story here - Spurs revealed that Man City refused to loan Bellamy to them. Basically City have all the cards here, they don't need the money and can afford to keep paying his wages. They know that he's still a premiership player and don't want their rivals having an edge. Cardiff was his only real option, as Man City closed every other door.

Bad for Bellamy, he really should have been playing at the top for one more season, especially as he has been in the best form of his career.

Ahh.

Huge boost for Cardiff though, surely makes them favourites for promotion now.

Yep, and for Bellamy he is living with his family, so it's not all bad. But still, what a waste of talent.

Milner to Man City is confirmed according to skysports news.

Okay two huge stories - Milner deal completed within 36 hours according to Mancini, so the above is slightly wrong. Mancini has also confirmed Given can leave if he wants. Surely Arsenal must make an offer? But will Man City let him go to a perceived rival??

 

[megadave]

they refuse to sell anyone to spurs so i doubt they would with Arsenal
